I always wanted a Flames anything growing up. No one had Jerseys. You were happy with a T shirt, a Hat and a pennant in your room. I got my first Jersey in 2004.
Do you remember the Canucks waving those towels?
I kinda wonder if that was the real start of the fan involvement?
I always thought that was so cool as a kid.
I THINK, that Calgary gets the nod for street parties during the different series as well. Now it's extremely common. The teams actually use it to make $$$. The Flames are going right over the top this year with it all.
